specify a link to a PDF file

[mr_lake2]

Greetings,

How do I specify a link to a PDF file in a local subfolder such as pdf/order_form_print.pdf?

The lines below are my quesswork so far. The HREF line causes a parse error in a PHP syntax checker.

<?php
define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Printable Order Form');
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Printable Order Form');

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'If you prefer to order by surface mail, click the link below to display a printable order form.');

<a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('pdf/order_form_print.pdf'); ?>" target=_blank>Printable Order Form</a>

?>

Suggestions?

I don't see anything obviously wrong with your syntax, but since I have no idea what your tep_href_link() function does, there's no way for me to say whether it should work or not.

No Dog,

I thought tep_href_link was a standard PHP function. Your remark made me realize that it is a function unique to the osCommerce shopping cart.

I did some research and found that the tep_href_link function is a wrapper for most lnks in the osComm shopping cart. Apparently it preserves session IDs as users switch pages in the cart.

Now I think the error reported by the syntax checker I used (just a checker on a web site) happened because tep_href_link was not defined in the file I tested. It is defined in my production environment so that error was not significant.

I think what I need are some details on how to use the tep_href_link function. I'll be this info is best had from the osComm forums.

That is where I posted originally, but no one has posted a response in several days.

But thanks for your help.
